Yakiniku Restaurants

Yakiniku Fujisan

2 Reviews

Yakiniku yakiniku of 0 degree aged ice temperature aged meat! I found out that there is a ramen with salt tongue instead of char siu, and this is what I was looking for! There aren't many char siu noodles, but salted tan noodles are unlikely! The tongue is delicious as it is. It's delicious to eat with green onions, and it's also good to sprinkle with shichimi or rock salt. The soup is like meat sui and the sweetness of beef.

Yakinikushoten Hayashi

1 Reviews

"Yakiniku Shoten Hayashi" in Kyobashi is a restaurant where you can eat delicious red meat. Among them, the extra-thick sea bream steak that ended up standing on the net is a gem that is so tender that you want to ask for it. The size of the beer was ridiculously large, and the curry served at the end was from a famous restaurant that was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants in Tabelog.

Yakiniku Jack

1 Reviews

I visited Umeda's "Yakiniku Jack" before, and I was told that a new menu item had come out, so I revisited it. “Chandelier truffle yukhoe” that looks too luxurious, and the exciting “whole grilled tongue”. Both must be reserved at least one day in advance, but are a gem worth ordering.

Oden

Noko

1 Reviews

A famous restaurant of Himeji Oden, selected in Bib Gourmand of Michelin.

Egret Castle Mille

1 Reviews

Himeji's specialty 'Himeji Oden' with soy sauce mixed with ground ginger. You can eat this in front of the view of a World Heritage, Himeji Castle at this restaurant. Oden, tastes good as it is, with sharpness and depth, which is very delicious local food.◎Located on 4th floor of a cultural facility, I was surprised the restaurant was in it. For a restaurant is directed by a hotel, its hospitality and taste are nice same as the view.

Arrived in about 5 minutes on foot from Kintetsu Nara Station. Udon shop where you can line up Mentouan's specialty is this reverse kitsune udon, "Kinchaku kitsune".

There is a sommelier and you can enjoy the marriage of tempura and champagne. The course of cooking consisted of tempura and one dish, and it was very delicious. The truffle egg-cooked rice was so delicious that I wanted a replacement.

Tempra Hatake

A restaurant where you can enjoy freshly fried tempura at the counter. This restaurant requires reservations, and this time I received a mini course.

I had a "Kyoto bowl eating comparison set" at Arashiyama Itsuki Chaya. The bowl that was renewed to the autumn menu has a shabu-shabu, and an additional menu, the super-luxury "Five Grains Fertility Tamatebako". It is a luxurious dish with crab meat and karasumi hidden under the matsutake mushrooms.

It's a limited menu for only summer, which looks cool and makes us forget the hot climate of Kyoto. The dashi soup and sudachi (refreshing citrus fruit) has good gentle fragrances, and smooth soba noodle can bring my chopsticks continuously. The soup is really delicious that I want to drink all of it.
